I used to work 5 days a week, 9 am to 2pm. I quite liked it, but my employer would often call or ask for "urgent" stuff to be down after my hours, which meant I could not be fully present for family or whatever I had planned. I have now switched to a 3 days workweek at another job, and I find it much easier to set effective boundaries. If I'm not there I'm not there and that's it. I don't think I could ever go back to working 40 hour weeks to be honest. When do you get anything personal done?

Yes, the apache[0] image will do what you want

Thanks, I managed to convert what I had downloaded with the convert.py script in llama.cpp.

I'm a complete beginner regarding this stuff, so if I may ask, how would I go about downloading the relevant model (e.g. wizardcoder-python-34b-v1.0.Q4_K_S.gguf) I checked on Hugging face but all I got was a bunch of .bin files...

Thanks.

Not that I know of, sorry...

I used to be a naval architect, and I completely agree with you. This type of design is extremely inefficient for cargo delivery. I think it is unrealistic to expect to be able to even remotely compete with diesel cargo ships. As another commenter said, the crew are in fact paying passengers (I have not verified this) which means this is actually a cruise ship, which makes a lot more sense. It must be a great experience. In my mind, the only way sailing ships can come back as work boats is if a way is found to make them nearly automatic and space efficient. In my mind this means large steel ships, not dissimilar to regular cargo ships, but with automated kite sails (e.g. https://skysails-marine.com/) as they do not tend to tip the ship over like regular sails do.

In my case it’s because interfacing to the CPU bus is much simpler, and the code to drive it way smaller. SD card pretty much require a separate interface such as a 6522 VIA.

Nothing much really it evolved into a more refined design, of which I sold a couple of plans to amateur builders.

Will try there, thanks

Sorry I didn’t build this, so I don’t know where the data comes from.

Right, that's the answer. I tried using regular algebraic notation without success, but this works fine. Thank you.

This is nice, I just compiled it, but how do I play it? I can't seem to find any instructions on the website...

Doesn’t “from openstreetmap data” count as attribution ?

My car was behaving strangely recently. Sometimes when I gave it the beans it would pop up a flurry of scary error messages about the engine, that I had to take it to the mechanic to have it checked out and so on.

500 € later and the mechanic could not fix the issue.

Other times, just turning on the engine it would complain that some filter was almost full. And once, on a longer than usual trip, it gave up on me in a pretty steep incline and I had to stop on the side of the road, let it cool down a while, and turn it on again and it worked mostly fine if I didn't accelerate too much.

Then a few weeks ago it did not start at all. So I measured the battery and it turned out it was toast. I had a friend bring me to buy a new one and swapped it in.

The car started fine. But incredibly, it never again displayed any error messages and seems to be completely fixed!

Not really phone related, but yeah, sometimes it can be (surprisingly) just the battery...

Hi, I just wanted to show my latest project to you fine folks. It's an emulator / simulator (I'm never quite sure which one is correct) for the MOS KIM-1 microcomputer [1]

It runs on iOS devices (from version 9.0 up) and on macOS (from version 10.15 only unfortunately)

You can have the basic interface of a hexadecimal keypad and 6 led digits, but I have also added a serial terminal to it.

From the serial interface, you can load paper tapes (one of the media the KIM-1 used to save data). It's a fairly easy format to work with and is detailed in the original KIM-1 manual. Basically you just type L when in serial mode, and choose a file to import with the button just below the "screen"

I have also added some help which hopefully will get you going if you don't have experience with the KIM-1. I basically reproduced the start of the original manual, modified in a similar style where necessary.

The mac version works, but it's only an automatic "translation' of the iOS versions, and as such it has a few quirks.

The mac version is available as a release in the github repo, but since I don't have an Apple developper account at the moment, you will have to build the iOS app yourselves with Xcode :( Also, I'm not sure if Apple would approve that sort of application.

Anyway, I hope someone likes it and I'm all ears for your feedback.

Thanks.

Firefox nightly, chromium for the rare sites that need it. I really couldn’t live without containers and afaik only Firefox has them.

BTW sorry for the snark in my original comment, but I got slightly annoyed I have to admit.

No, email signup, using both fake and real email addresses.

I tried signing up and I got a collection of most useless error messages, such as Unauthorized, Forbidden, Email is in use and so on. The Email is in use one does not seem so useless, but it really is if you get it when you try again with the same email address after getting one of the other messages...

Hi everyone. This is a quick blog post I wrote about this project.

The in-progress documentation website is at https://planck6502.jfoucher.com/ and the source repository for hardware and software is at https://gitlab.com/planck-6502/planck-6502

This is definitely the best site about motorcycle repair and maintenance I was able to find when resurrecting my old Honda. His style and instructions are clear and to the point, and he takes care to make sure you can do everything with regular tools, even going so far as to show you how to build special tools you might need for your bike. I actually downloaded the whole site with wget out of fear it might go missing some day... An absolutely essential website if you have a bike that is no longer under manufacturer's warranty.

So if you don't have massive amounts of engineers and test equipment to invent / develop new things that give you a performance boost for one year then you don't have a chance of winning. Doesn't seem like a very clever way to cut costs to me... Well, maybe it does cut costs, but it also prevents any small team from ever winning.

I had to sketch it, but it looks like the angle of view only depends on the angles of the wall, not where the narrow part is... https://postimg.cc/ykwFjD62

The only effective solution I have found so far to prevent my cat from hunting too many small animals is to have her wear a bell. Is seems that prey are scared away and manage to escape. Before we put it on we used to find dead mice, lizards and birds everyday in the garden or in front of the door...

I absolutely loved autocad for this. One hand on the keyboard, one on the mouse is an easy way to double your productivity. The speed at which you could draw things was amazing. I had a custom alias file with most commonly used shortcuts and the enter key was bound to right click which removed the need to move your left hand over the keyboard. This was in the 2000. Sadly the more recent versions I have tried make this harder to do. If I hadn’t switched career I’d still be using autocad 2000 !

100% agreed. Automation both requires capital and reduces ongoing expenditures due to salaries, which has the combined effect of a higher barrier to entry for people launching a new business where high automation is required to be competitive and at the same reduces redistribution of the value added. So it’s not so much that money is funelled to the top, but maybe more like it stops trickling down...

They go to "articles/...." instead of "/articles/...."

e.g. https://quanticdev.com/articles/most-valuable-thing-to-learn...

should be instead https://quanticdev.com/articles/raspberry-pi-guide-for-devel...

Yeah they were great! I had a reasonable collection of these, and I remember on subsequent playthroughs trying to "forget" what was the correct way forward and trying to play it as if it was the first time. Or trying all the possible combinations until I had read every page in the book!
